CHICAGO, ILL, March Wheat
prices we're modei ately firm at the
opening this morning, but heavy SELL
ing orders caused break OF lac dur.
ing the Middle session. In the after
noon there was frantic effort made
by shorts to cover their sales, and with
very free purchases by several prom
inent bulls speculate rs the price for
May touched 83@c, the highest point
since the recent big decline in prices
set in. One of the features Of the ad-
vance was that during the greater por-
ton Of the session ths difference be-
tween May and June was exactly lie,
but this gradually was wiped out and
May clio ed, in the latest trading, &c
higher than for June delivery. There
was very great excitement in the pi.
when the market bsgan to move up
on the afternoon board, the bidding
being 80 active and strong as to con-
vince many shorts that powerful
clique possibly had control of the
market and that prices had
only commenced to move up.
The frat estimate as to the Wis
ible supply placed the decrease IA
high as 3 100000 bushels, bu5 ttea
tusl decrease Yves found 10 be 1,S46,-
600 bushels, which was somewhat dis
t. many OF the traders.

tracing in corn, but values were weak |
